Hempy Grow Help

For the past what felt like 2 hours, i've been reading up on the hempy bucket grows. I read threw 11 of the monstrous 62 page thread on it, and my brain hurts. I have a soil set up now, plants were given to me, lucked out and 2 of 2 were female, and they've been flowering for 2 weeks now, looking good. But im interested in doing hempy style, with some questions...

Looking for figures to calculate possibly:

Size of bucket per plant? (IE 1 gal bucket for 3 ft plant)
Size and placement of hole to bottom on container?

Sorry, but i like solid numbers to work with...

Also, was curious about multiple plants per container. Say a large rubbermade container with 3/1 perlite/vermiculite mix and have 4 plants in it with 4 drain holes all same distance, same placement per side, and same diameter.

Lastly, any recommendations for hydro nutes for this style grow. Thanks.

What is it a bubble bucket? If so 5gal buckets work great and they make net pots that are made to fit right over the top. Nutes are a personal choice I like one part nutes myself I find they make things easier.

Soiless medium it is then plan for about 1 gallon per foot for soil. That is kind of like a manual ebb and flow with perlite to support the roots. Hydro plants grow smaller roots so you can get away with smaller containers. It looks like he is using three gallon buckets I would go with that. They make special nutes for coco coir set ups but for pearlite you could use any regular hydro nute as it is completely neutral. Looks kind of messy to me but I guess it is cheap. Good luck

You could probably put multiple plants in a wider container but more than one plant in those little buckets would be too much.

Yeah you can do multiple plants in a mo bigga container...rubbermaid tote..old ice chest etc. Did you read the "Hempy Collective" narrative? If not wouldnt be a bad idear. If you have thats great.
